The former striker assured that they did not allow him to enter the Albiceleste concentration to visit his former teammates. At some point in the year, the possibility of the former gunner being part of the entourage was considered.
In Argentina, they don’t have a good time. Any optimism that existed heading into the game against Saudi Arabia evaporated after the defeat. However, there is an element that happened a few hours after the meeting that was not positive for them. Sergio Agüero, who was part of the American champion team in 2021, assured not to let him enter the concentration of his former teammates.
The former striker said in one of his transmissions that he did not get the necessary degree to be able to enter Qatar University, the place where the trans-Andean team is located. “My message is that if they don’t want me to go, that’s fine, but say it to my face,” the former Manchester City man said.
“I want to know why they don’t want me there. Maybe they didn’t like me having an opinion on something. I have no idea, the situation is rare,” adds the one trained at Independiente de Avellaneda.
The story of Sergio Agüero and the Argentine team did not end with his retirement. After quitting football due to heart problems, the AFA asked Kun to be part of the entourage heading to Qatar. Even in February, it had been taken for granted. “I’m going to the World Cup. Today was a nice conversation with Chiqui Tapia. He behaved very well with us, and he asked me to get together,” said the historic striker from Manchester City at the start of the year.
“This week we are going to have a meeting. I want to be there. There is the idea of joining the technical staff, I spoke with Scaloni and also with Tapia. We have to try it, give it a spin. I’m going to be there with the boys, who get along very well. Mine is to accompany,” he said.
Despite these statements, the former Atlético de Madrid was not part of the entourage. Beyond the intentions, in April he had already foreseen that it could not be carried out. “I am a player and if a former player who works for the AFA comes, the situation is rather strange. I want to avoid those things,” he said in an interview with ESPN.
“The invitation was there, but my idea is to take advantage. I will come to Qatar as a fan and I have a very good relationship with everyone , but I don’t see myself in the coaching staff and with the boys on a daily basis. They ask me for a different role and I’m not here for that,” he added.
Between twists and turns, the truth is that Agüero was unable to visit his former teammates. A blow that came a few hours from debut against Saudi Arabia and which makes more noise after the historic defeat.
